Description

When trying to initialize Amplitude Classic or Madkudu in a website using SystemJS, the initialization fails with the following message:

analytics.min.js:1 Madkudu TypeError: window.require is not a function

This is due to the fact that the condition on this line is true for SystemJS, but SystemJS does not define window.require (see here and here).

Maybe to the condition on line 13 a check should be added for window.require to be defined.

Research direction

Start in integrations/madkudu/lib/index.js at line 13 and inspect the initialization path that runs when SystemJS is present. Verify the related Amplitude Classic behavior as well, then confirm that initialization under SystemJS no longer raises the reported window.require error while existing initialization paths still work.
